Letters Patent No. 111,032, dated January'l?, 1871,.

IMPROVEMENT IN WATER OR STEAM-VALVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making' part of the same.

To all whom it 'may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT BERRYMAN, of ,the

city and countyr of' Hartford and State of Connecticut, haveinveuted certain new and useful Improvements in Water or Steam-Valves; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same I will proceed to describe, referring to the drawing, in which the same letters indicate like partsin each of the figures.

This invention relates to that class of valves which has one solid conical plug or valve to open and close two openings at the same time, and which has proved, as heretofore made, insufiicierxt,for the reason thata large movement of' the Vvalve or plug Ais required to allow the ,full flow of the Huid between its body and its openings or seats; and even then the full capacity ofv the induction cannot pass through the valve.

The nature of this invention consists in forminga conical hollow cylindrical valve, having port-openings in cach "end and through its periphery near its upper or smaller* end, so that, by a short downward movement or opening of' the valve, it will allow of a full flow offiuid equal to the capacity ofthe induction and eduction-pipes which conduct the fluid into and, from the valve. y

In the accompanying drawing, sheet 1 Figure l shows the body of the valve.

Figure 4 shows the cap which closes thc upper portion of the valve, and the packing-box through which the valve-rod plays.

Figure 5 is a cap which closes the port at the under sideof the valve.

Figure o' is anV actuating angle-lever.

Sheet 2- Figure 8 shows a sideelevat-ion of the above, all as heretofore made.

Figure 9, sheet 2, is a side sectional elevation, showing this 1ny improvement.

Figures 2 land 3, sheet l, show in y improved conical hollow cylindrical valve, with its operatin g stem attached thereto.

The external appearance of this valve Ais very much like those solid valves heretofore made.

a. is the body of' the valve.

b is the induction-end or orifice.

c is the eduction-orifice.

(l d are the valve-seats or openings, which are closed to compress the packing around the spindle C.

i is a bracket secured to the neck of the orifice f.

k is an angle-lever, the orifice an. of which takes its bearing on the pin or screw n in the upper end of the bracket i.

The short end o'of' this lever is -fitted into the orifice i o in the upper end ofthe valve-spindle. l

A is a conical hollow cylindrical valve, having portopenings B in its upper end, and also through the periphery near Aits upperend; also, port-openings 1i on its lower end.

This valve is connected to the stem C, and is operated by an angle-lever, It'.

This valve A is also fitted to the openings or seats d d, so that, when closed, the orifices through the periphery will be just above the upper seat or orifice of the valve; and when, by the action of the leverlc, the valve A through tl're stem C is depressed, the fluid will have Va free and full flow through the orifices B B', fully equal to the capacity of the induction. Thus, theaalve will allow a full iiow of fluid equal to the capacity of the induction-pipe by a short 'movement I I believe I have thus shown the nature, construction, and advantage of vthis invention, so as to enable others skilled in the art to make and use thc saine. therefrom. L

What 1 claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The hollow conical valve A., having ports B and B', substantially as and for the purpose specified.
